In the end, how much of the bailout's potential profits are earmarked for ACORN? "None. Absolutely none. All funds would go to state and local governments," said Steven Adamske, spokesman for Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), the chairman of the Financial Services Committee and a lead negotiator.

I'm going to believe someone (Barney Frank) who was sleeping with (Herb Moses) the head of Fannie Mae while blocking legislation to regulate them?!

Congress Leaders, Bush Administration Reach Tentative Deal on Financial Bailout

Of course, at 12:30am EST Sunday morning when half of the country is asleep or still out at the bars from Saturday night.

Like a thief in the night

All, take a moment and e-mail Mr. Boehner and tell him we are with him.
Done.

This is the kind of deception you can expect from the DEMS.

Adamske is absolutely RIGHT. Nothing is earmarked for ACORN - directly. The 20% peel-off goes into two special HUD funds that can THEN GO TO ACORN.

Whatch these guys....They are slimy.

Adamske tweaked House Republicans, who have long called for more state control of federal funds. "Are they worried that the Governor of Alaska and the Mayor of Wasilla will give money to Acorn?" he asked.

No. And I have a pitchfork ready for you, you insolent creep.

“If Rep. Frank wants to keep ACORN in the bill he can secure the necessary Democratic votes for passage because he’ll need every one of them.”

Whoa! Is that an actual SPINE I detect in the ranks of the GOP????

This is utter coolness. Am I dreaming? Are the Republicans acting like Republicans?

Just like they did on the drilling issue last summer. Can our party be...turning back to the right? Can it be?

When Nancy Pelosi calls the House GOP "unpatriotic," they must have done something pretty darn good.

Thankyou for standing for the citizens of America.

We stand behind you. Do not let more liberal interests groups get their slush money from American taxpayers to further their agenda.

May god Bless you and keep you. My prayers and the prayers of millions of others are with you.

Barney Frank’s Former Boyfriend Herb Moses A Fannie Mae Executive

“Media Mum on Barney Frank’s Fannie Mae Love Connection” reports that head of the House Banking Committee Barney Frank’s former significant other Herb Moses

Prominent Democrats ran Fannie Mae, the same government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) that donated campaign cash to top Democrats. And one of Fannie Mae’s main defenders in the House – Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., a recipient of more than $40,000 in campaign donations from Fannie since 1989 – was once romantically involved with a Fannie Mae executive.

“Barney Frank’s Former Boyfriend Herb Moses A Fannie Mae Executive”

Thanks for the link.

This is an incredible story but the GOP is so spineless that they won’t bring it to light.

You better e-mail him back, late Sunday he came out for the bill and urged all Republicans to vote for it “to stop horrible consequences”.
